You must be thrilled!

Oh I am. I’m liking them all except the green one. Debating if I should make the drive on Friday night for the Saturday release in Miami.

Sounds like a great time. Thankfully this should take some pressure off the Moonswatch demand. I went into a Swatch store and it sounds like neptunes are really coming in now.

I’m liking this!

A lot!

Only the Indian Ocean is a little too much, but the others

I wonder how long it will take gift the reps to show up

Cool looking gadget

$4-500 USD apparently ? That makes em close to $800 AUD in Aus…. Ouch

I like them much better than the moonswatch, I really liked the moonswatch concept as bit of fun but I never really took to it…and I disliked the strap it was just so cheap.

These look nice, and the nato is a very nice upgrade…hopefully reps are not far away as I would like to try them all

I'm curious if the bezel will have lume like a blancpain and more importantly if the crystal and bezel will be a plexi scratch magnet like the moonswatch or sapphire ( I can dream). At face value I would consider getting one once the replicas arrive. (I'm not spending $400+ on a plastic watch)

^^^^ This. I already can see reports of wobbly bezels and broken crowns.

crystal is "biosourced material treated with an anti-scratch coating"

crystal is "biosourced material treated with an anti-scratch coating"

So plastic with some kind of anti-scratch coating on it which probably won't survive more than one or two bumps. Thank you for finding a good picture of the luminescence. If nothing else I can say I do like it. Just wish I had more confidence in the durability of the encasement.
